What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins

Sink repair in Rookley without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We are often asked to fix a crazed, tired basin and a period basin that needs restoring, across antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Rookley. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Rookley get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Do you need sink repair in Rookley?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A crack near the taps
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Before you book anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Rookley questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
